Death of the Sea by Corinne Pollard

I am cursed—

mortal by day,

monster by night,

trapped on the seaway,

and losing the light.

 

I am thirst,

compelled to drink

every deep sea.

If disturbed, I’ll sink

ships, no escapees.

 

I am she,

a monstrous-thirst,

draining, sucking

until no cloudburst

rains, succumbing

to my wasteland reign.
